Hitting Rock Bottom
Bad days come and go, difficult things happen in our lives, but we work through them. Hitting rock bottom is entirely different. I can pinpoint events in my life that served as catalysts for change. In reflecting on those times, I notice that it was not the great and wonderful events in life that changed me,…

Yup, that’s ‘allergy’ me!
Hey guys! I just put this collage together and just had to share. Yep – that’s allergy me! Far left, back in November when I first started experiencing my newly acquired dairy allergy. I went on like that for months, no idea what was affecting me. I’m not over exaggerating or ‘pushing it out’ ,…

The other weekend I had to bail out of a friend’s birthday party. Okay, to be fair, I didn’t bail. I actually did not confirm that I would go, but promised to let her know the day of. And that day, I told her I couldn’t make it. A lot of people from the outside…
